At some point past … Va va voom!

Automatic swagger from ZZ Top/Stones riffs.

Pop rock drum circle, volume turned up for the Windy City. And if you’re feeling ambitious see the Dallas show, televised, where everyone looks like tutti-frutti chewing gum and the trousers are an excruciating embarrassment. And it’s not as loud so as not to frighten.

And if, by chance, you’re still wondering why I like this stuff so much: It’s the big guitar chord changes and souped up Everly’s vocal(s).

Yeah, right.

    Even someone who seems to be all surface, it seems to say, may have unsuspected depths.

    Huh, almost makes me want to get the biography. Mutt Lange and a “best friend” put her into premature retirement. I had no idea.
